Thornton Rust

Travel Guide

Fields at Low Thornton Rust Moor The small medieval village fields with geese and grazing for horses and donkeys merge as the elevation rises into more open fell, predominantly used for sheep. The land rises gently before the sudden rise to the heights of Addlebrough, lying 2 kilometres SSW.

Tiny single room reminded me of student accommodation - bathroom better than the bedroom (& approx same size). Shabby carpet & stained wall. Cost £129 for one night room only mid week - overpriced & disappointing
